Abstract:

Approaches generating secret keys based on radio channel characteristics can’t guarantee the key length and system efficiency at the same time because of the low entropy rate or high disagreement ratio of keys.An adaptive key distillation scheme based on the quantization of channel state information was designed.An upper bounding function was used as an approximation of the real one to improve the entropy of keys under the constraint of disagreement rate.Based on this,the key agreement scheme resulting in longer keys was selected.Simulation results show that with this scheme,the length of key and efficiency of the system can be guaranteed at the same time.

Key words: physical-layer security, wireless channel characteristics, adaptive quantization, key distillation
